Re: Gaines Chair
Thank you one and all. It really was a fun ONE TIME project.

Travis, not particularly, the seat is too shallow for my 6'4" frame. Ppl were a lot smaller when this chair was designed.

To all who ask, the answer is NO; it was fun once, to do it 7 more times would be a lot like work and I try to avoid that at all cost. .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") Actually my home is furnished with Arts & Crafts furniture my first love.

The Vandal book is by far the best project book I have ever found on period furniture. The plans are very detailed as is his step by step, if you are into Queen Ann furniture I would consider it a must for your library. Unfortunately it is out of print but used copies and new old stock copies are still available.
Thanks again for all the positive comments.
Mike

Re: Gaines Chair
Mike, if I had your talent, and if I could make something that nice, I'd HIRE someone else to make the pictures!!
Great job!

Re: Gaines Chair
Sir, you are an artist and a craftsman! The notion of perplexing an antique dealer is wonderful. If the antique roadshow ever comes to town, bring it in and see what happens

Re: Gaines Chair
My hat's off to you. That is an absolutely terrific job, especially being your first chair. That is really something to be proud of. If you can build a chair like that, you can build anything.

Re: Gaines Chair
WOW, definitely an outstanding piece of work!! 
I don't believe I own hardly any of the tools you used to create that, and now I'm pretty sure I'm not going to ever get them cause I'd never be able to use them to create something like that.
Brian.
